I FOUND IT After exposing a Senator Cornyn advertisement in Spanish advocating for amnesty, I found a video of Cornyn on the Senate floor promoting amnesty for illegal aliens: “The proposal we made included…a path to legal status for DACA recipients.” No amnesty!

Today is a super hard day for me. Prayers will be appreciated if you feel so inclined. Used to call it 'awesomest day'...

Homeschool your kids. Their teacher might literally wind up a terrorist.

If you constantly find yourself on the side that roots for assassins, mocks widows, and cheers murder, you might want to ask yourself why.

I do not want to hear a f*cking word about both sides turning down the rhetoric. Political violence is not a both sides issue. It is a Left issue. The Left has a monopoly on political violence. Full stop.

@BigRockInsights I think that we should start saying he bought his way onto the ballot, instead of saying that he “collected” signatures. He literally just paid people money to get him everything he needed to bypass convention. Everyone should know this.

@AlexPouzikov @greg16676935420 I concur, it made lots of slop... They should instead donate it to a charity... Give people a tax deduction if they want instead...

@greg16676935420 We should just stop x payouts. I don't understand why this is a thing.

I have two stacks on my desk. The left stack is financial disclosure forms from members of Congress. The right stack is waivers for members who filed their financial disclosures late. The right stack is always taller. On Wednesday morning, I watched a soldier get arrested on CNN. I am a Disclosure Analyst for the House Ethics Committee. I have held this position for eleven years. My job is to receive the forms, verify their completeness, and file them. I do not investigate. I do not flag. I do not refer. I file. I have a lanyard. The lanyard says ETHICS. The soldier's name is Gannon Ken Van Dyke. He is thirty-eight years old. He was stationed at Fort Bragg. He was Special Forces. In December, he created an account on a prediction market called Polymarket. On January 2nd, he bet $32,500 that the president of Venezuela would be removed from power. On January 3rd, he helped remove the president of Venezuela from power. He collected $409,881. He has been charged with five federal crimes. Commodities fraud. Wire fraud. Unlawful use of confidential government information. Theft of nonpublic government information. Unlawful monetary transaction. The Department of Justice called it "the first-ever insider trading prosecution on event contracts." I watched this on the television in our break room. Then I walked back to my desk and processed a late financial disclosure from a member of the House Financial Services Committee who purchased $250,000 in bank stocks eleven days before his subcommittee held a closed-door hearing on proposed capital reserve changes. The filing was forty-seven days late. The STOCK Act requires disclosure within forty-five days. The penalty for late filing is $200. I waived it. I waive most of them. In 2021, fifty-four members of Congress and senior staff violated the reporting rules. The fines were minimal. Most were waived. I have a form for the waiver. The form has a box that says "Reason." I write "administrative delay." In ethics, "administrative delay" means the member's office forgot and then remembered when a reporter called. My approval rate is one hundred percent. In any other field, that number would trigger an audit. In mine, it is called thoroughness. Let me show you what I processed this year. January. A senator on the Armed Services Committee sold defense contractor shares worth $1.2 million. Three days later, his committee received a classified briefing that the Iran campaign had exceeded its projected cost by 340%. The stock dropped 8%. He filed the disclosure sixty-one days late. I calculated the fine. $200. His chief of staff asked if it could be waived. He did not ask what the senator traded on. Nobody asks that. The form does not have a field for it. I waived the fine. The senator's portfolio returned 23.4% in 2025. The S&P 500 returned 16.8%. February. A representative on the Energy and Commerce Committee bought pharmaceutical stocks worth $400,000. Two weeks later, her committee advanced a bill that would extend patent exclusivity for the exact drug class she purchased. The stocks rose 14%. She filed on time. There was no fine. There was no investigation. There was nothing to investigate because buying stocks in companies regulated by your own committee is not illegal. It is legal. The STOCK Act made it legal by making it disclosed. In Congress, disclosed means legal. In my office, legal means filed. March. A member whose spouse manages a portfolio worth $9.2 million reported forty-three separate transactions in a single quarter. Twelve of them were in sectors directly affected by legislation the member co-sponsored. The timing on eight of those twelve was within a two-week window of committee action. I logged all forty-three. None were flagged. We do not flag. We file. I asked my supervisor once what would happen if I flagged a filing. She said we do not have a form for that. I never asked again. In 2020, I processed 847 disclosures. In 2023, 1,211. In 2025, 1,614. The number of enforcement actions in each of those years was zero. The numerator changes. The denominator does not. I want to tell you about the soldier again. He made $409,881. He tried to delete his Polymarket account by calling customer service and saying he lost access to his email. He moved his profits into a foreign cryptocurrency vault and then into a new brokerage account. He used his real identity. He placed thirteen bets. Every single one was connected to an operation he personally participated in. In my eleven years, I have processed disclosures from members of Congress who traded on: Pending FDA approvals they learned about in committee. Defense appropriations they voted on. Trade policy they negotiated. Pandemic response measures they drafted. Interest rate decisions they were briefed on before the public. None of them have been charged. None of them have been investigated by the Department of Justice. None of them have been referred to the SEC. The STOCK Act has produced zero prosecutions since it was signed on April 4th, 2012. Fourteen years. Five hundred and thirty-five members. $635 million in trades last year alone. Zero cases. My daughter asked me once what happens when someone breaks the rules. I told her we write it down. She asked what happens after that. I said it depends. She was nine. She is twenty now. It does not depend. Nothing happens after that. The soldier made $409,881 and faces decades in prison. Nancy Pelosi entered Congress in 1987 with a portfolio worth approximately $785,000. It is now worth $133.7 million. That is a return of 16,930%. The Dow Jones returned 2,300% over the same period. Professional fund managers who beat the market for three consecutive years are considered exceptional. She has beaten it for thirty-seven. If a hedge fund produced those returns, the SEC would subpoena the records on a Thursday. She produced them from a building with a chapel and a gift shop. She announced her retirement last year. No investigation was opened. No disclosure was flagged. Her filings were on time. In my office, on time means compliant. Compliant means closed. I want to tell you about the fine. $200. That is the maximum penalty for violating the STOCK Act's disclosure requirements. $200 for a member of Congress whose portfolio gained $4.7 million in a single quarter. I calculated what $200 represents as a percentage of $4.7 million. It is 0.004%. I could not find a comparison that made it meaningful. It is less than the price of the parking pass in the Rayburn garage. It is less than lunch at the members' dining room if you order the crab cakes, which I am told are excellent though I eat at my desk. Since 2012, thirty-one bills have been introduced to restrict congressional trading. I keep a list. The list is longer than the STOCK Act itself. On March 5th, 2026, a representative from Michigan introduced the thirty-second. He called it the "No Getting Rich in Congress Act." The bill would prohibit the President, Vice President, members of Congress, and their spouses from trading individual stocks, cryptocurrency, futures, and commodities while in office. The bill was referred to committee. The committee has not scheduled a hearing. The committee is chaired by a member whose spouse executed $2.1 million in trades last year. The bill will be reviewed. In my office, reviewed means read. Read means acknowledged. Acknowledged means a status has been assigned. A status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one. The soldier used classified information to make $409,881 on a prediction market. He has been charged with five federal crimes. The Department of Justice announced the case on the same day I processed three disclosures from members who traded on committee knowledge worth a combined $3.8 million. The difference between the soldier and the members is not what they did. It is the building they did it in. He did it from Fort Bragg. They did it from the Capitol. He used a prediction market. They used the New York Stock Exchange. He bet on a military operation. They bet on the legislation they write. He did not write the law. They did. They wrote the STOCK Act. Then they funded its enforcement at zero dollars. Then they set its maximum penalty at $200. Then they gave my office the authority to waive it. Then they traded $635 million. The soldier flew to Caracas. He breached a compound. He put his body between a mission and a bullet. The people who ordered the operation were in a building with a credenza and sparkling water. They did not go to Caracas. They went to their brokerage accounts. The soldier made $409,881 and is now in federal custody. The people who knew what he was going to do before he did it made more and filed less. His prosecution is not a failure of the system. It is the system. One conviction per decade, at the lowest level, so the briefing slides can say enforcement exists. The $409,881 is not the crime. It is the cost of making $635 million look supervised. In my field, we call this self-regulation. The soldier's Polymarket account has been frozen. His military career is over. He will spend years in federal prison. My office will process every congressional disclosure filed this year. Every trade logged. Every $200 fine calculated and waived. The system is immaculate. Fourteen years. Zero prosecutions. $635 million a year. A 16,930% return. I have not leaked a document. I have not filed a complaint. I have not deviated from the process one single time. The process was written by the people whose forms I process. As long as the disclosures go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations. My lanyard still says ETHICS. In eleven years, nobody has asked me to define the word.

"Charlie Kirk was 10x the peacemaker that Sharon McMahon is."

This chart should alarm every American! A glitch does not alphabetize voters, clone them in groups, and leave matching mathematical signatures across states. Two counties. Two states: Texas, now Utah! Two different election systems. Yet the data shows the same fingerprint: real voters used as “anchors,” fake clone records created, impossible numbers inserted, and structured math patterns that do not look random. In Bexar County Texas, the red flag was fractional voter ID numbers. See my tweets of Feb. 28th, 26th, 30th, Mar 5th on how KnowInk poll books were used to cheat just two months ago. Now found in Utah, it was fractional and negative house numbers, plus voter IDs tied to real voters. ➡️Ban computers in our elections.

SPLC is in a legal box with no clean exit. To defeat the donor fraud charges, they have to argue the informant program was legitimate intelligence work coordinated with federal law enforcement. Bryan Fair already said that on video on April 21st. But the moment that's the defense, three new problems open: Donors did not give money to fund FBI-coordinated intelligence operations. Class action exposure on the actual basis of the donor relationship. 501(c)(3) status doesn't cover serving as a federal intelligence contractor. Tax exemption becomes contestable. Admitting FBI coordination validates exactly the Grassley-Patel-HJC finding that SPLC was feeding the FBI taxonomies used to target American religious communities. The traditional escape hatch in a case like this is graymail. SPLC threatens to expose FBI coordination in discovery. DOJ backs off to protect FBI secrets. Except this DOJ wants that exposure. Patel severed the FBI-SPLC relationship in October. Grassley released documents in June. The Weaponization Working Group is already mapping this. Exposing FBI wrongdoing under the prior administration is a feature, not a cost. The graymail doesn't work because the target doesn't want to protect what you're threatening to expose. Which means SPLC's options narrow to: Plead to narrower charges and accept reputational collapse Go to trial and have the whole operation documented in the public record Drag proceedings out hoping for a political reversal before donor class actions and state AG investigations land There's no fourth door.

Trying again... Let's see how long it lasts... Maybe eventually decloaking will happen

@Erdayastronaut @Truthful_ast But that pushes the timeline to Elon time... Just sayin eventually we'll get there... Hopefully sooner than I really think, but easier than you're projecting

@Erdayastronaut @Truthful_ast Taller starship incoming plus v4+ width increase before lunar mission I'm guessing... Grok simplified it to 4 or 5 starships at production levels for the mission but it would need a new ground support for the wider starship.

SNEAK PEEK 👀 Here's an overview of Starship HLS's mission profile. We eventually go over all the numbers & do some calcs to see if there's ways to reduce the tankers. I'll have a full-ish 90 min rough draft review up tonight for X subscribers, Patrons & YouTube members!

Me: Babe, I parked my new gun in the barn. Wife: WTF do you mean, parked??!

Hello Senator Thune, Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation." You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process. Here's how we know: Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you. Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work: Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill. Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results. Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess. Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate. You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months. Now let's talk donors: • Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user • Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify • Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration • Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail." Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable. We see the loop. You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed. What we want: 1. Force a real talking filibuster. 2. Stop hiding behind process. 3. Pass the SAVE America Act. YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents. You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time. Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.

If @realDonaldTrump hadn't of won, we'd never know about SPLC's racist scam. And if @elonmusk hadn't bought Twitter, the news would have been buried.

Kevin Warsh said the quiet part out loud at his Senate confirmation: "regime change" at the Fed. Everyone missed it. The Empire didn't. Susan Kokinda on what Warsh, Trump's Defense Production Act energy order, and Mark Carney's toy soldier all have in common. 👇

Here's the thing, @Deblanch57: 1) If @LeaderThune was on the side of the people, explain why he gaveled in during the Senate's vacation? I'll tell you why... he was blocking President Trump from making recess appointments. 2) If @LeaderThune was on the side of the people, why did he even recess in the first place? I'll tell you why... he had no intention of ever bringing this up for a vote and was hoping to deflect some of the heat he was receiving. The job of a leader is to encourage discussion and turn a popular bill into a popular law that President Trump would sign. That's what a "LEADER" does. IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!
